Meta-Wiki has a small active community. When a normal user requires the assistance of an administrator or bureaucrat for some particular task, it is not always easy to find one. This page helps users find one when they need one; asking specific admins directly via their talk pages is one way to elicit a fast response. It is only for assistance required at Meta-Wiki, help for other wikis needs to be requested at those wikis.

Request for patroller

I will like to use this right to be able to rollback vandalism edits quickly. I came across many these days and had to so via undo. I am active enwiki editor. –Ammarpad (talk) 03:54, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support Support: I optimistic Ammarpad also to be one of the LTA vandal fighter on Meta-Wiki as well. SA 13 Bro (talk) 04:19, 29 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I personally would like to see activity for a bit longer time. Stryn (talk) 09:12, 29 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Stryn: OK, thanks. –Ammarpad (talk) 09:22, 29 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Has my userpage been contrary to META policy?

Recently, User:-revi deleted portions of my userpage claiming that they would contradict META policy. This is about a string of difflinks pointing to verbatim quotes of other Wikipedians about me, which frankly are not flattering. Now I don't think that this contradicts Wiki policy in any way, after all, it serves only to quote verbatim what others have said about me. Sure, those who committed the insults won't like to be reading them, since it makes obvious that they've committed a mistake, but since when I report these, I'm the one who gets blocked (EDIT: In fact indeffed --Mathmensch (talk) 11:21, 24 March 2018 (UTC)), I don't see another way to deal with them. Hence, I'd like to appeal against the decision that they are contradicting META policy, as recommended by User:-revi, see here. --Mathmensch (talk) 11:20, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Comment Revi would be correct to remove such quotes. Meta is not the place for your battles, it is a coordinating wiki, and it is not the Wikipedias, nor the place to continue a battle from elsewhere. If you wish to contact an a person at another wiki who is willing to continue a conversation, then that is okay, it is not the place to continue a battle. Looking at some of your edits here it seems you have created personal userbox templates that we don't do here; edited an old essay with your opinion, which is not something typically done; and picked some fights. All I can recommend is to take a breath and review what you think that you are trying to achieve.  — billinghurst sDrewth 11:18, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Billinghurst: I would be grateful if you could point to the respective policies, but see also your talk page for the changes you've made.
Meanwhile, I don't see how it would be a "battle" to list things that others have said about me. It's a joke, and it signals other users not to take insults (CLARIFICATION: Against themselves--Mathmensch (talk) 06:33, 27 March 2018 (UTC)) too seriously. --Mathmensch (talk) 13:52, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
We do take insults seriously, and you will see that is the case in discourse here. You are at meta, and listing those local matters is purely provocation, and that is the problem. If you were looking to start a debate and a resolution with someone, then go and do it. Don't start parading your arguments on a xwiki user page, that is provocation.
You asked for a review by an independent administrator of local policy, and you got it. It might be time to be reflective, rather than combative, especially when you are parading in front of independent and experienced users.  — billinghurst sDrewth 22:28, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Billinghurst: Could you at least point to a policy that justifies your position? --Mathmensch (talk) 06:31, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Come off it! This is a smaller wiki, and it is a coordinating wiki, tell me how it fits within our scope ... Meta:Inclusion policy. Point me to the policy that says that it is okay. Look at the practice and operation of this wiki over number of years to see how it is managed, look at deletion discussions, look at how the management takes place. Now think how it will work if we start trying to generate all the userboxes for every language wiki, for every sister wiki. As I explained on my user talk page, you can use {{userbox}} to decorate your page if you so choose, but stop with the gratuitous templates.  — billinghurst sDrewth 09:38, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"tell me how it fits within our scope": "Documentation and discussion concerning the Wikimedia Foundation and its projects", but essentially anything on that page will do. --Mathmensch (talk) 06:40, 29 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]


And I should add that this global userpage shall be transcluded onto all other wikis. --Mathmensch (talk) 13:58, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That is correct. That still doesn't mean that we start populating with gratuitous userboxes, please keep that as a local practice at your wikipedia of interest.  — billinghurst sDrewth 22:28, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

My question

I want to edit a user page and it is constructive. But why I do not have access to edit user pages? Is this wiki avoids to edit user pages? 2606:A000:6604:D700:998A:D7EA:9D5B:D660 04:17, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You may be constructive, but in general, newbies or unregistered editors editing other user’s userpage is (most times) vandalism and get a warning when you attempt to do so. — regards, Revi 04:49, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
